What startup script is supposed to handle ipv6_defaultrouter=...?
On a system running 7.1-STABLE as of early February, cvsup'd with tag=RELENG_7 just prior to recompiling the system, setting ipv6_defaultrouter=... in /etc/rc.conf seems to have no effect. I'm forced to set the IPv6 gateway using commands outside the regular startup scripts. The command grep ipv6_defaultrouter /etc/rc.d/* doesn't give anything useful, either. I guess /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6 is missing the required code. Here's the revision string from my /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/rc.d/network_ipv6,v 1.37 2004/10/07 13:55:26 mtm Exp $ Is this the correct revision number for tag=RELENG_7? -- -- Trond Endrestøl | trond.endres...@fagskolen.gjovik.no ACM, NAS, NUUG, SAGE, USENIX | FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE Pine 4.64___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I'm forced to set the IPv6 gateway using commands outside the regular startup scripts. For the record, here are the IPv6 related variables found in this particular system's /etc/rc.conf file: ipv6_enable=YES ipv6_defaultrouter=2001:700::::1 ipv6_ifconfig_em0=2001:700::::24 prefixlen 64 If I leave out the static address assignment on em0 and the static router address, the system gets both an autoconfigurated IPv6 address as well as receiving the router's link local IPv6 address and the system will use that LL address as the default router. I'm merely interested in giving em0 a static IPv6 address, and if possible leave everything else to be determined by the router's advertisement. Do I need to fiddle with one or more sysctl variables? -- -- Trond Endrestøl | trond.endres...@fagskolen.gjovik.no ACM, NAS, NUUG, SAGE, USENIX | FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE Pine 4.64___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Sorry about the noise. Maybe I wasn't too patient, but I will swear that netstat -rnf inet6 showed no default route even when it was supposed to. And yes, I did reboot the system to verify my settings. Again, my bad. -- -- Trond Endrestøl | trond.endres...@fagskolen.gjovik.no ACM, NAS, NUUG, SAGE, USENIX | FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE Pine 4.64___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hi, * Trond Endrestøl trond.endres...@fagskolen.gjovik.no [090226 13:19]: Sorry about the noise. Maybe I wasn't too patient, but I will swear that netstat -rnf inet6 showed no default route even when it was supposed to. And yes, I did reboot the system to verify my settings. Again, my bad. I have the problem sometimes that the system tries to get IPv6 router advertisments before the interface is up. In this case it doesn't retry, at least not within the time frame I was patient enough to wait. In this case I usually call rtsol by hand to get the parameters.
